Re: user error.

Most likely you are right, and it was my relative inexperience that did help the situation. I have written a response lower in this thread about why I went with the 1DX and the results.

I have the option of returning the 70-300 and I am seriously considering the 70-200 option however I have read that with an Extender the autofocus system is slower. Also for a general purpose carry lens the 70-300 is a lot lighter and has more zoom, its only drawback is I can't down to 2.8 but I am thinking the tradeoff is worth it.

I am still unsure of what is the best solution as I haven't tested the 70-200 with the extender in the field so can't comment.
